Galaxy clusters -- the big cities of the universe -- are home to many giant elliptical galaxies that have completed their growth and are not forming stars. However, it is still unclear what has shut ...

Researchers have used the ALMA telescope and found old elliptical galaxies in the universe can form from intense star formation within early galaxy cores. An international team of researchers ...

Sci-fi tends to paint the edge of our galaxy as a desolate backwater, but in one early galaxy, the galactic rim is the bright, bustling center of activity, and the core is the aging backwater. The ...

The Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of NGC 4694, a galaxy that possesses unusual properties that complicate its classification. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

An interaction between an elliptical galaxy and a spiral galaxy, collectively known as Arp 107, seems to have given the spiral a happier outlook thanks to the two bright "eyes" and the wide ...

Astronomers have made a surprising discovery that challenges current theories of galaxy formation. A colossal disk-shaped galaxy, nicknamed the "Big Wheel," has been found just two billion years after ...

Results from the James Webb Telescope near-infrared camera clearly show that massive galaxies with active galactic nucleus feedback from supermassive black holes have lower star formation.

Schematic diagram shows how spheroid formation occurs in distant submillimetre-bright galaxies, and how this process connects to the evolution of giant elliptical galaxies in today's Universe. On the ...
